All I had seen in my mother’s and my aunt’s eyes at
different times were here in Faye’s.” (p. 23-24)

Grandmothers Victory
.... experiencing harassment from other white folks,
for defending a "nigger" named Tom Robinson. "But Mrs. Dubose held us:
"Not only a Finch waiting on tables but one in the courthouse lawing for
niggers!" These quotes show the attitude of most whites towards blacks in
this time period. There is a very interesting difference in these two stories.
In Grandmother's Victory it is white children harassing the blacks. This
scenario is the case you usually hear about. However, in To Kill A

This was the children’s saint, with most of the children buried around it. When her family came to the grave when she was in grade school, she used to love to climb on the smooth stone and hear the sparrows in their tiny trees dotting the plateau of the dead.

Grapes Of Wrath 2
.... showed how much the people in the towns hated these new developments like the Hoovervilles. Also, I can't recall what town! It was in, but when the Joad’s approached one town border, the men there said there was no work, and that they would have to turn around, I believe they even had the police there. This showed how much the people already living in these towns and cities fear the coming farmers and others that had lost their jobs, for the townspeople wanted to keep their jobs.
I think it woul .....

Grapes Of Wrath 3
.... that they had to leave by a certain time. If they did not leave, they would be put in jail and then the men on the cats would plow over their houses anyway with no remorse. When asked why they did this, they simply said that they had a family to feed just like the rest of the people who were suffering during this difficult time.
Most of the families that the movie showed were very reluctant to leave and when the cats came, they would attempt to stand their ground and threaten the workers. They would s .....

Grapes Of Wrath 7
.... mistreated each other. During the Civil War, the North wanted to outlaw slavery in the U.S.. However, the South wanted to keep slavery because it increased their economy. The North then went to war against the South. They killed each other in battles. Although the mistreatment of Okies was not this extreme in The Grapes of Wrath, the Civil War shows how cruel Americans can be towards each other.
